So this cycle is cycle #3 with the soy iso's... 2nd cycle taking 160mg's.

I've been EXTREMELY emotional, waking up SAD and crying. Granted along with working 3x's the hours I used to making fm flare, exhausted... I've had allot happen in a span of a week (ie. AF showing, my Angel's angelversary, DH being a real dickhead, work crap) I guess it could be the environmental stuff and not the soy? But I can't help but to think the soy has allot to do with it, esp since I know some of the ladies who've taken clomid have had side effects like that.

Anyone else?

Yes, when I took the soy I was very emotional. I cried all the time for no reason and was to the point that I felt this was going to be our last cycle TTC because I was very depressed and at my wits end. I thought it was just me, but I suppose it could very well be the soy. I'm sorry you are feeling this way.

Does throwing around everything in the kitchen, slamming all the cupboard doors, bursting into tears, laying in bed all night, and refusing to talk to DH because the microwave was broken and I couldn't defrost the chicken for dinner count as extreme emotions????

I was a crazy woman this cycle on 160 mg soy CD3-7, Celena. C.R.A.Z.Y.

I wasn't sure if it was the soy either or if this TTCAL is just starting to drive me nuts. But this cycle I was a whole different level of psycho.

Not to mention that my fertility signs were all screwed up. I had no EWCM, no pos OPK, but a clear temperature shift ????? And I had several bouts of mid cycle spotting. Now I don't really know whether I'm 11 dpo or 15 dpo, but I have had more pre-AF spotting than usual with no sign of true AF yet.

I am not taking the soy next cycle. I am afraid that I have cysts or some other weird hormonal issue from the soy. And I am afraid that that means Clomid is not going to work for me either. Ugh. Soy was just not my friend.

Good luck this cycle, Celena. Maybe the symptoms will be worth it for you, like Kelly

I was very emotional on clomid and had to stop myself from killing DH in his sleep..just kidding about the killing part...sort of...LOL
It definately made me emotional, and if the soy is doing the same thing to your hormones, then I would think you could get the same emotions....add that to all the other stuff that was going on this week, I'm sure it's a cocktail for craziness. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks ladies, I wasn't like this the past 2 cycles and this cycle just about has me freaked.

Altho last cycle I had no pre-O dip, my temps shifted as well. I thought for sure we had it in the bag with timing bd'ing and everything. Nope. I hope to God that I don't have any cysts, but from my understanding with soy you dont get the nasty side effects altho here I am emotionally tormented from it. I just hope to God this is my last cycle ttcal until after I have my rainbow baby(ies)

I was a horrible mess on Clomid... only teary throughout the month with Soy.

[Celena]

Missy I couldn't imagine clomid! Maybe it's a blessing the RE didn't give it to me or else I would be in a much worse place than I am now. Soy has to be a micro crumb compared.

I've been a little weepy this month on 80mg soy, but I have kind of been that way since having DD, so not sure if it had anything to do with it.

((HUGS))

[Celena]

I'm doing WAY better today and I took my last dosage of soy, not too sure I'll being taking it next cycle or not yet. I need to do some more reading.

[mmllhh]

Glad to hear you are feeling better chica. Emotions when they aren't happy ones are no fun at all.
